I had shingles behind my right eye and on the right side of my forehead 2 months ago. Luckily I managed to get anti-viral medication promptly, but I still occasionally get very severe pain which usually starts in the early hours of the morning and keeps me awake. Paracetamol and Ibuprofen don't seem to have much effect on the pain. I was prescribed Co-dydramol, but these made me feel worse. The pain is worse when I am lying down, and usually goes soon after I get up in the morning. I also seem to have a blocked sinus on my right hand side at night. Has anyone experienced anything similar, or can anyone offer any helpful advice?
